Workshops – Creative Writing

WRITE FOR GROWTH WORKSHOPS

Write for Growth Workshops happen-monthly on Saturday mornings from 10am-1pm at Gladstone’s Library, and are for anyone wanting to explore the potential of personal writing. Activities are designed to stimulate creativity and enhance well-being. Every workshop takes a different theme, making it accessible to the first-timer and fresh for the regular returner.

No previous experience is needed, just a desire to write and discover where words might take you. We enjoy discussing our responses to the activities, but you do not have to share what you have written unless you wish.

Upcoming Write for Growth events are listed below. Places are limited. Cost is £25 per workshop.

To book, call 07787 116603 or e-mail juliamcg@creativeconnectionscheshire.co.uk Booking is confirmed by payment by at least one week before. No refund for cancellation at less than 7 days’ notice unless the place can be filled.

Health professionals cannot always be alongside their clients, but the therapeutic space of the page is there 24/7. Personal writing can be an adjunct in our work of helping others, and also enable them to care for themselves.This workshop will explore the creative possibilities of therapeutic writing pathways through challenging times. It will equip those who professionally help others, and who may also want to look after their own well-being. The day will be suitable for those new to therapeutic writing, and further resource those more familiar with the practice.

We will explore:

How therapeutic writing works

A range of approaches from prosaic to poetic; form to freedom.

How to ensure writing is helpful rather than harmful

CPD Certificates will be issued.

Cost: £80 (Lunch not provided, though available at Gladstone’s) EARLY BIRD RATE (Till March 1st): £65

Testimonials

‘I really enjoyed Julia’s knowledge and style of presentation. It was clear she knew what she was talking about. It was great to have someone lead the course who has
done it for so long and knows exactly what she is doing.’
